Vlad was born in Luhansk to believing parents. He decided to follow Jesus during a church camp in 2011 and began to serve on the worship team playing electric guitar. When the war started in 2014, Vlad moved with his family to Lviv where God led him to Spring of Life Church.

Liza was born in a believing family in Kramatorsk. In 2005, during a kids camp, she followed Jesus. In 2008, Liza began singing on the worship team at her church. Due to the war she moved to Lviv in 2014, and, in 2015, began attending Spring of Life church, where she serves as a leader of one of the worship teams.

In 2017, Spring of Life started FusionNRG. Liza has been one of the main leaders since the beginning and currently serves as the administrator. Vlad joined the team in 2018, becoming the main leader a year later. Since its launch, over 30 youth have repented and believed in Jesus through FusionNRG. Vlad and Liza married in 2021 and soon decided to serve as full-time missionaries for Josiah Venture.
